Where the wild roses grow
Nick caveBut my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her, I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said: Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?
On the second day he came with a single rose
Said: Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?
I nodded my head, as I lied on the bed
He said: If I show you the roses will you follow?
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said: All beauty must die
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
For my name was Elisa Day
For my name was Elisa Day
Mas meu nome é Elisa Day
Porque me chamam assim eu não sei
Pois meu nome é Elisa Day
Do primeiro dia que eu a vi, eu sabia que era ela
Ela fixava o olhar em meus olhos e sorria
Pois seus lábios eram da cor das rosas
Que cresciam junto ao rio, sangrentas e selvagens
Quando ele bateu na minha porta e entrou no quarto
Minha tremedeira parou em seu abraço seguro
Ele seria meu primeiro homem e com mão cuidadosa
Ele enxugou as lágrimas que corriam pelo meu rosto
No segundo dia eu levei a ela uma flor
Ela era mais bela que qualquer mulher que já havia visto
Eu disse: "Você sabe onde as rosas silvestres crescem
Doces, escarlates e livres?"
No segundo dia ele veio com uma rosa
Disse: "Você me daria sua tristeza e dor?"
Eu assenti enquanto deitava na cama
Ele disse: "Se eu lhe mostras as rosas você me seguirá?"
No segundo dia eu levei a ela uma flor
Ela era mais bela que qualquer mulher que já havia visto
Eu disse: "Você sabe onde as rosas silvestres crescem
Doces, escarlates e livres?"
No terceiro dia ele me levou ao rio
Mostrou-me as rosas e me beijou
A última coisa que ouvi foi um sussurro
E ele acima de mim com uma pedra em punho
No último dia levei onde as rosas selvagens crescem
Ela deitou na margem, o vento sutil como um ladrão
A beijei, disse "Toda beleza deve morrer"
Abaixei-me e coloquei uma rosa entre seus dentes
No segundo dia eu levei a ela uma flor
Ela era mais bela que qualquer mulher que já havia visto
Eu disse: "Você sabe onde as rosas silvestres crescem
Doces, escarlates e livres?"
